You will gain the appropriate knowledge and advanced laboratory skills to apply for careers in the biomedical science field, including those relating to the diagnosis and management of human disease, and laboratory careers in the pharmaceutical andbiotechnology industries.If you choose this course you will benefit from:

Currently accredited by the Institute of Biomedical Science (IBMS);

Applied Biomedical Science is approved by the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC);

The opportunity to apply for entry into National Health Service (NHS) Health Care Scientist registration training programmes;

Placements in laboratory settings and in other fields such as teaching;

Academic staff who have hospital laboratory experience and are active in research and bring this into their teaching;

Hands-on experience of a wide range of techniques in modern, well-equipped laboratories which give you the expertise and skills required to compete in the graduate job market;

A focus on student-centred teaching in which you can take part in mini-projects where you devise and carry out your own laboratory experiments. This will ensure that you can demonstrate to future employers that you can work independently and solve problems;

Guest lecturers who are currently employed as biomedical scientists in hospital laboratories to

Course Content

You will cover the key foundations of biomedical science including: diagnosis and pathology of disease, molecular biology, genetics, cell biology and microbiology.

Laboratory work is a substantial component of the course, enabling you to learn a wide range of techniques in modern, well-equipped laboratories and help them develop the key experimental, data handling and reporting skills required in biological careers. Considerable focus is also placed on graduate-level skills which are essential when you apply for jobs.

Your course will be based on lectures, with associated laboratory practical classes, workshop

activities and tutorials.

All students are initially admitted to the IBMS accredited Biomedical Science degree. However, you can compete for a one year placement in an approved biomedical training laboratory between year two and three, if successful in the placement you can transfer to the HCPC approved Applied Biomedical Science degree course.

Requirements

UK requirements for international applications

Universities in the United Kingdom use a centralized system of undergraduate application: University and College Admissions Service (UCAS). It is used by both domestic and international students. Students have to register on the UCAS website before applying to the university. They will find all the necessary information about the application process on this website. Some graduate courses also require registration on this website, but in most cases students have to apply directly to the university. Some universities also accept undergraduate application through Common App (the information about it could be found on universities' websites).

Both undergraduate and graduate students may receive three types of responses from the university. The first one, “unconditional offer” means that you already reached all requirements and may be admitted to the university. The second one, “conditional offer” makes your admission possible if you fulfill some criteria – for example, have good grades on final exams. The third one, “unsuccessful application” means that you, unfortunately, could not be admitted to the university of you choice.

All universities require personal statement, which should include the reasons to study in the UK and the information about personal and professional goals of the student and a transcript, which includes grades received in high school or in the previous university.
